Ae honest Appeal to all witht
: Had or failing Health.
ARE YOU LANGUID, INANIMATE, REST-!
less, appetite poor, digestion bad. and PAINS
IN THE BODY, BACK AND HEAD? Reader,
much ol tiiis is caused from COLD, caught unwittingly, or, in seven cases out of ten, SLUGGISHNESS OF THE LIVER AXD BLOOD, aud want
of NATURAL PERSPIRATION, indiscretion in
the use of FOOD AND DRINK, or from a dryness
in the atmosphere—-which is a very Unhealthy
part of tliis climate—many of the AWFUL, VIOLENT AND SUDDEN DEATHS that occur here
must oe attributed to this. Now, reader, I have
made this my study for many years, and I do assure you that mv DR. WEBBER'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL will cure these causes-it will
insure animation pf the LIVER, BLOOD AND
BRAINS—it strengthens the nerves, and gives
to Use sufferer a lightness of spirits, a mental and
bodily feeling of strength that is delightful. The
many respectable persons who have been benefited by and certified to its extraordinary qualities
in curing any of the following diseases, must satisfy all but the self-wise and ignorant skeptic—
DYSPEPSIA, or INDIGESTION, LOSS OF
MUSCULAR OR BODILY STREA'GTH
AND MENTAL ENERGY; FEVF.R,
AGUE, or CHILLS, RHEUMATIC, NEURALGIC or other pains ; DEPLETION-A A D
IVE A KNE S S OF THE NA TURAL FUNCTIONS, DEBILITY FROM DISEASE, DIS
IRA TIOA", too much doctoring, debauchery, and
other causes ; in case of excitement from constant
intemperance, and where delirium tremens has
occurred, I have seen it change the sufferer iu
half an hour from the most horrible state to calmness aud placidity. It can, indeed, be couscien-
ciously recommended lo all suffering, and the proprietor regrets deeply that it la necessary thus to
advertise it, in order that ils merits may be known
Constitutional Weakness.
DEBILITY from Disease, Climate, Disipation or
'Debauchery.—Strength, vivacity and vigor to
the limbs, body and mind, is given by DOCTOR
JACOB ' WEBBER'S INVIGORATING
CORDIAL—-it sends an eiecLric thrill of life
through the worn-out body, weak limbs aad brok
en-down constitutions ; gives an appetite, removes
Dyspeps.a, calms iriitability, causes quiet sleep,
and is indeed the linest tonic, Nervine and San-
guilier ever made. It is purely a vegetable com
pound, and can be used by the most delicate female. The reader is conscienciously assured it it
all it is represented.
Sarsaparilla and Bitter Drinkers,
Read !
Dear Sir, and Goon Friend.—I herewith inform you tbat I have takeu, iu seven mouths, over
Sixty bottles of Saraparilla, Bitters, and other
leniedies for confirmed Dyspepsia, Weakness of
the Chest, Indigestion, and a general feebleness
of my system, without getting any particular relief. Two bottles of your Cordial have benefited
me so much that I am a different being. Please
to send two bottles more, which I feel sure will
effect a perfect cure. II this will benefit you or
the alllleted. vou are at liberty to publish it.

A Beautiful Poem.—" Ina," of Los Angeles, is
a young girl of genius—a true natural poetess
She has but little experience in writingj but haa
produced, nevertheless, some perfect gems of fancy. There are but few whom we would advise to
ltivate the poetic art, because there are but few
to whom the divine gift is given, and who can
hope to attain any eminence in the pursuit. But
Ina is one of tbose whom we Would encourage to
write. Careful study, close reading, and a full
play of the mental) moral and physical faculties*
(we say physical, because the health of the body
is often sacrificed to the cultivation of the mind'j
will undoubtedly enable her to achieve an enviable degree of distinction in the literary world.
The subjoined poem we have obtained from Ina,
at our own solicitation. She does not have a
very high opinion of it, but we do. We admire
it for its tender and touching simplicity, veined
as it is with an etherial fancy. The poem was
written for a friend, who had lost a beautiful
child, and was not originally intended for publi.

LITTLE ELSIE:.
Heard you ever of our Elsie
Tiny wanderer from tho skies '_
Elsie with tlie sunny ringlets,
Elsie with the starry eyes,
Aud a brow so strangely fair?
With a voice like wild-bird music,
And a step so light and airy I ■
Gentle, 'witching little fairy,—
Roguish, romping, bright eyed Elsie,—■
Elsie with the golden hair!
Everybody used to love her,
Though tliey told us, with a sigh,
That our Elsie soon would leave us,
God would call her,—she would die !
Could we lose a flower so rare !
Each day—each hour we saw her fading,
Saw lier blue eyes grow less bright,
(Though what they lost of earthly beauty,
They gain'd ten-fold in angel light J)
Still, we hoped that God would never
Our beloved one from us sever :
Spare her.'—was our daily prayer,
All in vain !—we lost our Elsie ,
Lost our cherish'd bubie Elsie —.
Elsie with the golden hair.
Just one year ago she left us,—
On a warm, bright summer day,
Willi the trembling, dying sun-beams,
Elsie's spirit passed away.
Ah ! my heart was breaking—breaking,
And the tears fell thick and fast,
When I saw the dark death -shadow.
Over Elsie's features cast.
God 1—I mnrmur'd in my woe,—.
Must my child—my Elsie go ".
Must I lose this precious treasure',
Elsie, whom I worship so ?
Elsie's eye:!, of darkest azure,
Upward glanced with look so mild,
And the purpling lips, half parted,
With death so aear iL.:in, sweetly orallc-a.
And my throbbing heart's deep anguish,
Again burst forth in accents wild—
'• Oh ! I cannot lose thee, Elsie 1
God. in mercy—spare mj child f
Leave mc Else—only Elsie—
All. all else I have, is Thine!"
Efsie With tbe last life-motion,
Plac'd her soft white hand in mine,
Lowly whispering—don't, don't cry!
See you uot the angels, mother,
Ever pointing to the sky,-^
Telling me that I must die ?
Oh ! I know I'll be so happy,
Where Jesus and the angels are !
"Yet I'll miss you,—miss you, mother,
Won't you come, and meet me there ?
Iiush'd I listeu'd to the murmur,
Of that voice so saintly meek,
Till my own rent soul responded.
" God, Thou hast the victory won I
Father, oh ! my 'heart io willing.—
But the flesh—the flesh is weak,'
Teach me, Fatdkr, how to bear it,
Help me say, ' Thy will be done!'"
Calm, as sinking to repose.
Did her tiny eyelids close.
Earth teas lost and Heaven won 1
True, there lay the beauteous casket,
But the gem—the gem—was gone I
The sun's last, lingering, golden glow,
Fell quivering, o'er her pale, pale brow,
Giving it that crown of glory,
The child jEsra used to wear.
Thus she died :—our sweet pet, Elsie,—
Elsie with the golden hair.
Fold the dimpl'd hands eo softly.
Raise tiiat darling little head,—
Kiss the snow-white, blue-vein'd forehead,
And those pale lips, once so rod ;
Smooth from the brow so icy cold,
Those clustering curls of "'paly gold \"
Now lay her iu the coffin, there!
Yonder, where the flowers are springing,
Where the birds are blythely singing,
Where you see a moss-grown mound
Rising from the grassy ground,
Sleeps our heavenly, saint-like Eisie,
Elsie with the golden hair !
Ouly five short years she lingerd ;'
She was far too pure for earth,
Far too beautiful—too holy.'
Angels claimed her from her birth.
F'reed from earth and earthly care,
Wanders she through '• fields ElysianF'
Far above us—there in Heaven,
Dwells our little cherub, Elsie I
Darling, blue-eyed, angoi Elsie ,
Elsie with the golden hair !
Sib Walter Raleioii.—His pipe often furnished Raleigh with au opening for displaying his
ready wit to the queen. One day he was conversing on the singular properties ofthe new herb.
•'lean assure your majesty," said he, "that I
have so well experienced the nature of it, that I
can even tell the weight of the smoke in any
quantity I consume."
" I doubt it much, Sir WaUer," replied Elizabeth, thinking only of the impracticability .of
weighing smoke in a balance, " and wil! wager
you twenty augels that you do not solve my
doubt."
A certain quantity was agreed upon to be
thoroughly smoked. Carefully preserving the
ashes, Raleigh weighed these with great exactness, and what was deficieut of the original
weight, he gave as the result.
'•Your majesty," said he, "cannot deny that
the difference hath been evaporated in smoke."
" Truly, I cannot," answered the queen. Then
turning to those around her, who had been amused
by Raleigh's calculation, she continued, in allusion to the alchemists, then very numerous,
" Many laborers In the lire have I heard of who
turned their gold into smoke, but Raleigh ie the
first wh.0 haa turned smoke into gold."
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Tliu Atlantic Montlily, niarCtti
Thk is the fifth number of this magazine, bnt;
the second which we have received. It is a good
number, filled with Interesting articles, and fully
sustains the reputation of lite able writers who
are contributors to its columns.
The Hi His li Periodicals.
North British, Edixhukoii, London Quauterly,
and Westminister Reviews, amp Blackwood;
The high position occupied by those publications in the literary world leaves nothing for us
to say on their behalf. Their reputation is worldwide ; the writers being tho leading men ofthe
country where they are published. These works
arc re-published by Leonard Scott & Co., New
York ; may be had for §3 a year each, or two for
$5; the foifr Reviews, §8 ; with Blackwood, $10.
Hutchlngs California Magazine.
The number for April of Ihis excellent magazine contains likenesses of several of1 our State
Senators, among whom we notice the Senators of
the First and Second Districts, accompanied by .
sketches of their history. Tbis magazine always
contains reading matter of interest to the people
of California, as well as of general importance.
The Athhjweum.—The second number of- this
monthly is before us. It is a handsomely printed'
paper, of quarto form, published by G. Weekes &
Co., aud under the editorial care of Mrs. Cora
Anna Weekes. It is strictly a literary paper, devoted to the cultivatiou ofthe refined, the memorable aud the beautiful. The number before us
exhibits decided talent, aud an energy which we
hope will ensure success—the editress saya it
shall succeed. It is filled with original sketches,
judicious reviews, choice poetry and interesting
selections, The Athenwum should bo on every
table, and we hope it will so thrive as to become
a fixed fact.
"Sacr\mknto Mekcoiiv » is the uame of a new
paper in Saeramento city. It is published by II.
S. Foushee & Co. Jn politics it is truly Democratic, supporting the policy of Mr. Buchananand
the Administration on the Kansas question. We
Vvisli it success.
" Daily Evening Visifon."—We have before us
the fourth number of tbis paper, published by
Brown, Ingham & Co. It is a well printed, vigorously written paper,—we hope it may prosper;
Newspaperdom is pretty well settled up in the
beautiful City ofthe Plains.
The Monitor."—Number four of this journal'
is before us. It is a Catholic journal, devoted to
the cultivation of Catholic literature, and to be
rree irom the rancor ot polemics, xi is puuiiwita'
in San Francisco. Several attempts have been
made to establish a Catholic paper in San Francisco ; the present promises well, and is1 much sir
perior in style and design to its predecessors, and
Id be sustained by those for wlioinlt is specially provided.
Thk Wide West'," we find,- has recently
changed hands, being now under the control of
Col. J. E. Lawrence, It is very hand,somely
printed, and under the care of its able and experienced editor, will take a foremost place among
the literary papers of the State.
SoOTHBKS VifvEYAnn."—An absence from home
has put us behind in noticing the arrival amongst
us of new candidates for public favor in newspaperdom. We are therefore necesitated, at this
late day, to notice the appearance of several
brethren of the craft—amongst whom is Col. Warner, whose paper, published in this city, bears the
above heading. The Colonel is well calculated to
make an interesting paper, and we hope he will
have abundant cause for rejoicing in the fruits of
his vineyard.
— »< IHf^.,, <»_-
Fort Tbjon, Cal., March 17, 1S:8.
Editor of Los Angeles Staf.
In the " Planter's Advocate," of January 27lh,
I have read tho article ,; How to make Salad—
Cozzeus against Sidney Smith " attentively ; aud
after agreeing with tbe classical " Doctor " in his
opinion, that " a bowl of lettuce is the Venus oi
the dinner table ;" that lettuce, or rather " Jaotu-
sbould havo a quick growth, (after it has been
transplanted, in order that it may loaf,} be " new
plucked '' and washed in ice-water, &c, (though
cold spring water wiil do just as well.) I must
beg, with all due delference, to differ from tlie
learned "Doctor," and the Rev. Sidney Smith,
senior, in their receipts for makiug a good, rich
dressing for a lettuce salad, or one of water cresses. To dress a salad, I would alter and amend
the directions of the learned Petrus Petronius,
and make tbem read as follows : " You must have
a prodigal to furnish the oil, a counsellor to dispense the salt, muslard, and black and red pepper,
a miser to dole out tho vinegar, and a practical
person to etir it, and—a hen to lay the eggs."
To dress a salad for two persons, get a 30up
plate and a silver dinner fork. Then break into
the plate the yolks of two fresh eggs, and add a
salt spoon halHull of salt, three dashes of black
pepper, and thrice as many of red, and a half a
tea-spoonful of well mixed mustard ; incorpor-
te these for about a minute ; pour a very gentle
stream of good sweet oil, of four table spoonfuls,
and continue to mix till itassumesthe appearance
of taffey about half pulled. Now stir in, gently,
a table spoonful of vinegar, which will give it a
whitish appearance, and yon have your dressing
made in about five minutes. Now take the lettuce by the stalk, shake off all the water, break
off the inner leaves—one at a time—drop them
iuto the plate, and take your fork in your left
hand and a spoon in your right and turn over the
lettuce till it becomes well covered by the dressing.
"O great and glorious ! O herbaceous treat.
'Twould tempt tbe dying anchorite to eat 1
Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul,
Aud plunge his lingers in the salad bowl I"
Aa " de guslibus non est disputandum," persona preferring more vinegar, pepper and salt, or
cither one, can add thein to suit their own taste.
SALAD.
Kx-PrcHldcnt Floret's First Unit In Mntklrni'
A correspondent of the New Hampshire Patriot-
and a compagnon du voyage of tbe ex-President
aud Mrs. Pierce, on board of tho U. S. steamer
Powhattan, to Madeira, concludes a letter froroV
tfuucbal with the following' particulars of the'
voyage, and landing of the distinguished passen-'
gers :—
It will be gratifying to the mimerons friends of
Mrs. Pierce—for indeed I have yet to learn who1
is not—to learn that she bore the voyage with
surprising fortitude j and though prostrated lor
some days by a rough sea, rallied again and>
reached Madeira-in aa good hSalth as wh^-i' sho"
left the United States. For a considerable pari-
of tne voyage she walked the deck daily, and with
so firm aud elastic a step as to surprise as well aa'
to gratify all those who kuow her exceeding delicacy and frailty. She seemed lo enjoy tho ocean
scenery, uud the movements ofthe ship, and the'
drill and mbster of the men :'and when on tha
Sabbath morning she woke up, breathing tho*
balmy air of Madeira, the church-bells softly pealing upou hor ears, and the proud uioiilitains, an*
the most picturesque scenery bursting upon her
eyes, her surprise instantly rallied, and the next
day she established herself iu h/;r new home—and1
a most charming one it ia. Devoutly it ia to W
hoped that a lady of so many of the highest and1
best qualities of the head and heart, and of whom'
a human voice never spoke but in praise, and-
even that pained her, may receive all the benefit
of this admirable climate. Should her health be:
improved by a winter residence here, Gen. Pierco'
proposes visiting Spain and Italy in the summer,,
and may indeed protract his travels ou the continent beyond the year.
I need not say that the presence of Gen. Pierco
added much to the interest of the voyage. Leaving the President at V,'ashington and taking with
him liis owu manhood, he won all hearts by his:
courtesies and attentions. When he left the highest military honor was shown him. Tbe yards'
were all manned, the marines drawn up under
arms, and the men stationed at the immense guns*'
while the band in tlieir red jackets, were ready to'
strike up the music. Arnvin-arm,- the General
and Mrs. Pierce walked the gangway, where Capt_.
Pearson's boat awaited them, wben Gen, Pierco
suddenly stopped, turned about and uncovered
aud addressed both oflicers and men in one of the
neatest, most pertinent and eloquent speeches
which, as the officers confessed they had ever
heard. Capt, Pearson replied in behalf of himself
aud fellow-officers, and when tho boat was fairly
under way, the gnus roared such a thunder storm
as I never heard—terrible even' without thunderbolts and bullets. The reverberations from tho
muuiitaiup, a™ poaJm mm fauuigaiw purges, wero'
admirable—rolliDg about and upward and backward, and intermingling till it could not be told-
whence they started—the whole mountain seemed
to shake. Reaching the shore, a carriage awaited
them ; laugh not, reader, nor accuse me of dealing in the pontic, when I describe it—a thing-
(most evidently it was uot a spirit) like the top
of an Old stage let down upon au equally old1
ivood sled, and drawn by a yoke of oxen "I Such'
are the only carriages in Funchal, and in ono of
them the late Prcsideut of the United States and'
his fair and honorable lady entered, nothing doubt--
ing, and wero conducted to their palatial home,-
Such is life.
An Englishman speaking in fai'oi' of his own'
couutry, said to Dr. Thompson: "You have no
coal—it is this that gives England its manufacturing importance." The Doctor replied: " We'
arc not altogether destitute of coal ; wc have ono
small bed called the eoal field of Illinois, which
is larger thau the whole of England. If you wait
till we scoop aome oi it out, and then bring your
island over, wc will drop it In and annex you."
Riches ROT Hai-flvess.—Stephen Girard, when1
he had millions at his command, wrote thus to an
intimate friend :■
" As to myself, I live like a galley slave, cdri1'
stanlly occupied, and often passing the night without sleeping. I am wrapped up in a labyrinth of
allairs and worn out with cares. I do uot value
lortune. The love of labor is my highest emo-'
tion."
Never forsake a friend. When enemies gather1'
around—when sickness falls on the heart—when'
the world is dark and cheerless—is the time to'
try true friendship. They who Ittrft from tho
scene of distress betray their hypocracy, and provo'
that interest alone moves them.
.
I compare the ait of spreading rurhor'S to tho*
art of pin-making. There is usually some truth*

Ae honest Appeal to all witht
: Had or failing Health.
ARE YOU LANGUID, INANIMATE, REST-!
less, appetite poor, digestion bad. and PAINS
IN THE BODY, BACK AND HEAD? Reader,
much ol tiiis is caused from COLD, caught unwittingly, or, in seven cases out of ten, SLUGGISHNESS OF THE LIVER AXD BLOOD, aud want
of NATURAL PERSPIRATION, indiscretion in
the use of FOOD AND DRINK, or from a dryness
in the atmosphere—-which is a very Unhealthy
part of tliis climate—many of the AWFUL, VIOLENT AND SUDDEN DEATHS that occur here
must oe attributed to this. Now, reader, I have
made this my study for many years, and I do assure you that mv DR. WEBBER'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL will cure these causes-it will
insure animation pf the LIVER, BLOOD AND
BRAINS—it strengthens the nerves, and gives
to Use sufferer a lightness of spirits, a mental and
bodily feeling of strength that is delightful. The
many respectable persons who have been benefited by and certified to its extraordinary qualities
in curing any of the following diseases, must satisfy all but the self-wise and ignorant skeptic—
DYSPEPSIA, or INDIGESTION, LOSS OF
MUSCULAR OR BODILY STREA'GTH
AND MENTAL ENERGY; FEVF.R,
AGUE, or CHILLS, RHEUMATIC, NEURALGIC or other pains ; DEPLETION-A A D
IVE A KNE S S OF THE NA TURAL FUNCTIONS, DEBILITY FROM DISEASE, DIS
IRA TIOA", too much doctoring, debauchery, and
other causes ; in case of excitement from constant
intemperance, and where delirium tremens has
occurred, I have seen it change the sufferer iu
half an hour from the most horrible state to calmness aud placidity. It can, indeed, be couscien-
ciously recommended lo all suffering, and the proprietor regrets deeply that it la necessary thus to
advertise it, in order that ils merits may be known
Constitutional Weakness.
DEBILITY from Disease, Climate, Disipation or
'Debauchery.—Strength, vivacity and vigor to
the limbs, body and mind, is given by DOCTOR
JACOB ' WEBBER'S INVIGORATING
CORDIAL—-it sends an eiecLric thrill of life
through the worn-out body, weak limbs aad brok
en-down constitutions ; gives an appetite, removes
Dyspeps.a, calms iriitability, causes quiet sleep,
and is indeed the linest tonic, Nervine and San-
guilier ever made. It is purely a vegetable com
pound, and can be used by the most delicate female. The reader is conscienciously assured it it
all it is represented.
Sarsaparilla and Bitter Drinkers,
Read !
Dear Sir, and Goon Friend.—I herewith inform you tbat I have takeu, iu seven mouths, over
Sixty bottles of Saraparilla, Bitters, and other
leniedies for confirmed Dyspepsia, Weakness of
the Chest, Indigestion, and a general feebleness
of my system, without getting any particular relief. Two bottles of your Cordial have benefited
me so much that I am a different being. Please
to send two bottles more, which I feel sure will
effect a perfect cure. II this will benefit you or
the alllleted. vou are at liberty to publish it.

A Beautiful Poem.—" Ina," of Los Angeles, is
a young girl of genius—a true natural poetess
She has but little experience in writingj but haa
produced, nevertheless, some perfect gems of fancy. There are but few whom we would advise to
ltivate the poetic art, because there are but few
to whom the divine gift is given, and who can
hope to attain any eminence in the pursuit. But
Ina is one of tbose whom we Would encourage to
write. Careful study, close reading, and a full
play of the mental) moral and physical faculties*
(we say physical, because the health of the body
is often sacrificed to the cultivation of the mind'j
will undoubtedly enable her to achieve an enviable degree of distinction in the literary world.
The subjoined poem we have obtained from Ina,
at our own solicitation. She does not have a
very high opinion of it, but we do. We admire
it for its tender and touching simplicity, veined
as it is with an etherial fancy. The poem was
written for a friend, who had lost a beautiful
child, and was not originally intended for publi.

LITTLE ELSIE:.
Heard you ever of our Elsie
Tiny wanderer from tho skies '_
Elsie with tlie sunny ringlets,
Elsie with the starry eyes,
Aud a brow so strangely fair?
With a voice like wild-bird music,
And a step so light and airy I ■
Gentle, 'witching little fairy,—
Roguish, romping, bright eyed Elsie,—■
Elsie with the golden hair!
Everybody used to love her,
Though tliey told us, with a sigh,
That our Elsie soon would leave us,
God would call her,—she would die !
Could we lose a flower so rare !
Each day—each hour we saw her fading,
Saw lier blue eyes grow less bright,
(Though what they lost of earthly beauty,
They gain'd ten-fold in angel light J)
Still, we hoped that God would never
Our beloved one from us sever :
Spare her.'—was our daily prayer,
All in vain !—we lost our Elsie ,
Lost our cherish'd bubie Elsie —.
Elsie with the golden hair.
Just one year ago she left us,—
On a warm, bright summer day,
Willi the trembling, dying sun-beams,
Elsie's spirit passed away.
Ah ! my heart was breaking—breaking,
And the tears fell thick and fast,
When I saw the dark death -shadow.
Over Elsie's features cast.
God 1—I mnrmur'd in my woe,—.
Must my child—my Elsie go ".
Must I lose this precious treasure',
Elsie, whom I worship so ?
Elsie's eye:!, of darkest azure,
Upward glanced with look so mild,
And the purpling lips, half parted,
With death so aear iL.:in, sweetly orallc-a.
And my throbbing heart's deep anguish,
Again burst forth in accents wild—
'• Oh ! I cannot lose thee, Elsie 1
God. in mercy—spare mj child f
Leave mc Else—only Elsie—
All. all else I have, is Thine!"
Efsie With tbe last life-motion,
Plac'd her soft white hand in mine,
Lowly whispering—don't, don't cry!
See you uot the angels, mother,
Ever pointing to the sky,-^
Telling me that I must die ?
Oh ! I know I'll be so happy,
Where Jesus and the angels are !
"Yet I'll miss you,—miss you, mother,
Won't you come, and meet me there ?
Iiush'd I listeu'd to the murmur,
Of that voice so saintly meek,
Till my own rent soul responded.
" God, Thou hast the victory won I
Father, oh ! my 'heart io willing.—
But the flesh—the flesh is weak,'
Teach me, Fatdkr, how to bear it,
Help me say, ' Thy will be done!'"
Calm, as sinking to repose.
Did her tiny eyelids close.
Earth teas lost and Heaven won 1
True, there lay the beauteous casket,
But the gem—the gem—was gone I
The sun's last, lingering, golden glow,
Fell quivering, o'er her pale, pale brow,
Giving it that crown of glory,
The child jEsra used to wear.
Thus she died :—our sweet pet, Elsie,—
Elsie with the golden hair.
Fold the dimpl'd hands eo softly.
Raise tiiat darling little head,—
Kiss the snow-white, blue-vein'd forehead,
And those pale lips, once so rod ;
Smooth from the brow so icy cold,
Those clustering curls of "'paly gold \"
Now lay her iu the coffin, there!
Yonder, where the flowers are springing,
Where the birds are blythely singing,
Where you see a moss-grown mound
Rising from the grassy ground,
Sleeps our heavenly, saint-like Eisie,
Elsie with the golden hair !
Ouly five short years she lingerd ;'
She was far too pure for earth,
Far too beautiful—too holy.'
Angels claimed her from her birth.
F'reed from earth and earthly care,
Wanders she through '• fields ElysianF'
Far above us—there in Heaven,
Dwells our little cherub, Elsie I
Darling, blue-eyed, angoi Elsie ,
Elsie with the golden hair !
Sib Walter Raleioii.—His pipe often furnished Raleigh with au opening for displaying his
ready wit to the queen. One day he was conversing on the singular properties ofthe new herb.
•'lean assure your majesty," said he, "that I
have so well experienced the nature of it, that I
can even tell the weight of the smoke in any
quantity I consume."
" I doubt it much, Sir WaUer," replied Elizabeth, thinking only of the impracticability .of
weighing smoke in a balance, " and wil! wager
you twenty augels that you do not solve my
doubt."
A certain quantity was agreed upon to be
thoroughly smoked. Carefully preserving the
ashes, Raleigh weighed these with great exactness, and what was deficieut of the original
weight, he gave as the result.
'•Your majesty," said he, "cannot deny that
the difference hath been evaporated in smoke."
" Truly, I cannot," answered the queen. Then
turning to those around her, who had been amused
by Raleigh's calculation, she continued, in allusion to the alchemists, then very numerous,
" Many laborers In the lire have I heard of who
turned their gold into smoke, but Raleigh ie the
first wh.0 haa turned smoke into gold."
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Tliu Atlantic Montlily, niarCtti
Thk is the fifth number of this magazine, bnt;
the second which we have received. It is a good
number, filled with Interesting articles, and fully
sustains the reputation of lite able writers who
are contributors to its columns.
The Hi His li Periodicals.
North British, Edixhukoii, London Quauterly,

The high position occupied by those publications in the literary world leaves nothing for us
to say on their behalf. Their reputation is worldwide ; the writers being tho leading men ofthe
country where they are published. These works
arc re-published by Leonard Scott & Co., New
York ; may be had for §3 a year each, or two for
$5; the foifr Reviews, §8 ; with Blackwood, $10.
Hutchlngs California Magazine.
The number for April of Ihis excellent magazine contains likenesses of several of1 our State
Senators, among whom we notice the Senators of
the First and Second Districts, accompanied by .
sketches of their history. Tbis magazine always
contains reading matter of interest to the people
of California, as well as of general importance.
The Athhjweum.—The second number of- this
monthly is before us. It is a handsomely printed'
paper, of quarto form, published by G. Weekes &
Co., aud under the editorial care of Mrs. Cora
Anna Weekes. It is strictly a literary paper, devoted to the cultivatiou ofthe refined, the memorable aud the beautiful. The number before us
exhibits decided talent, aud an energy which we
hope will ensure success—the editress saya it
shall succeed. It is filled with original sketches,
judicious reviews, choice poetry and interesting
selections, The Athenwum should bo on every
table, and we hope it will so thrive as to become
a fixed fact.
"Sacr\mknto Mekcoiiv » is the uame of a new

S. Foushee & Co. Jn politics it is truly Democratic, supporting the policy of Mr. Buchananand
the Administration on the Kansas question. We
Vvisli it success.
" Daily Evening Visifon."—We have before us
the fourth number of tbis paper, published by
Brown, Ingham & Co. It is a well printed, vigorously written paper,—we hope it may prosper;
Newspaperdom is pretty well settled up in the

the cultivation of Catholic literature, and to be
rree irom the rancor ot polemics, xi is puuiiwita'
in San Francisco. Several attempts have been
made to establish a Catholic paper in San Francisco ; the present promises well, and is1 much sir
perior in style and design to its predecessors, and
Id be sustained by those for wlioinlt is specially provided.
Thk Wide West'," we find,- has recently
changed hands, being now under the control of
Col. J. E. Lawrence, It is very hand,somely
printed, and under the care of its able and experienced editor, will take a foremost place among
the literary papers of the State.
SoOTHBKS VifvEYAnn."—An absence from home
has put us behind in noticing the arrival amongst
us of new candidates for public favor in newspaperdom. We are therefore necesitated, at this
late day, to notice the appearance of several
brethren of the craft—amongst whom is Col. Warner, whose paper, published in this city, bears the
above heading. The Colonel is well calculated to
make an interesting paper, and we hope he will
have abundant cause for rejoicing in the fruits of
his vineyard.

reached Madeira-in aa good hSalth as wh^-i' sho"
left the United States. For a considerable pari-
of tne voyage she walked the deck daily, and with
so firm aud elastic a step as to surprise as well aa'
to gratify all those who kuow her exceeding delicacy and frailty. She seemed lo enjoy tho ocean
scenery, uud the movements ofthe ship, and the'
drill and mbster of the men :'and when on tha
Sabbath morning she woke up, breathing tho*
balmy air of Madeira, the church-bells softly pealing upou hor ears, and the proud uioiilitains, an*
the most picturesque scenery bursting upon her
eyes, her surprise instantly rallied, and the next
day she established herself iu h/;r new home—and1
a most charming one it ia. Devoutly it ia to W
hoped that a lady of so many of the highest and1
best qualities of the head and heart, and of whom'
a human voice never spoke but in praise, and-
even that pained her, may receive all the benefit
of this admirable climate. Should her health be:
improved by a winter residence here, Gen. Pierco'
proposes visiting Spain and Italy in the summer,,
and may indeed protract his travels ou the continent beyond the year.
I need not say that the presence of Gen. Pierco
added much to the interest of the voyage. Leaving the President at V,'ashington and taking with
him liis owu manhood, he won all hearts by his:
courtesies and attentions. When he left the highest military honor was shown him. Tbe yards'
were all manned, the marines drawn up under
arms, and the men stationed at the immense guns*'
while the band in tlieir red jackets, were ready to'
strike up the music. Arnvin-arm,- the General
and Mrs. Pierce walked the gangway, where Capt_.
Pearson's boat awaited them, wben Gen, Pierco
suddenly stopped, turned about and uncovered
aud addressed both oflicers and men in one of the
neatest, most pertinent and eloquent speeches
which, as the officers confessed they had ever
heard. Capt, Pearson replied in behalf of himself
aud fellow-officers, and when tho boat was fairly
under way, the gnus roared such a thunder storm
as I never heard—terrible even' without thunderbolts and bullets. The reverberations from tho
muuiitaiup, a™ poaJm mm fauuigaiw purges, wero'
admirable—rolliDg about and upward and backward, and intermingling till it could not be told-
whence they started—the whole mountain seemed
to shake. Reaching the shore, a carriage awaited
them ; laugh not, reader, nor accuse me of dealing in the pontic, when I describe it—a thing-
(most evidently it was uot a spirit) like the top
of an Old stage let down upon au equally old1
ivood sled, and drawn by a yoke of oxen "I Such'
are the only carriages in Funchal, and in ono of
them the late Prcsideut of the United States and'
his fair and honorable lady entered, nothing doubt--
ing, and wero conducted to their palatial home,-
Such is life.
An Englishman speaking in fai'oi' of his own'
couutry, said to Dr. Thompson: "You have no
coal—it is this that gives England its manufacturing importance." The Doctor replied: " We'
arc not altogether destitute of coal ; wc have ono
small bed called the eoal field of Illinois, which
is larger thau the whole of England. If you wait
till we scoop aome oi it out, and then bring your
island over, wc will drop it In and annex you."
Riches ROT Hai-flvess.—Stephen Girard, when1
he had millions at his command, wrote thus to an
intimate friend :■
" As to myself, I live like a galley slave, cdri1'
stanlly occupied, and often passing the night without sleeping. I am wrapped up in a labyrinth of
allairs and worn out with cares. I do uot value
lortune. The love of labor is my highest emo-'
tion."
Never forsake a friend. When enemies gather1'
around—when sickness falls on the heart—when'
the world is dark and cheerless—is the time to'
try true friendship. They who Ittrft from tho
scene of distress betray their hypocracy, and provo'
that interest alone moves them.
